Launching Missiles Backwards

[Commissar Senas]

Hey all,

Just had a guy in my game that was launching missiles backwards. As in totally facing away from me but was still launching IR missiles like they were reversed on his pylons and launching rearward....
That part of the game or is that guy cheating?

They don't launch backwards, but they do turn towards the locked target 180 degrees after launch if they have to. The HUD circle is a lie.

Huh....
funnily enough, you were in our game. We thought you were cheating.
Hence why you got kicked...

Apologies....

Totally a legal strategy.

S3 got a slight nurf in last big patch so they are not as crazy with the 180 flip up close (gun range) but it can still be done with a little bit of distance.

Interesting.

Weird design decision. not sure i agree with it but if thats the choice of the Devs, then i guess there isn't much i can do.

Wonder why the Devs made that choice or if its a side bug with some programming on missile tracking.

Just traded with a guy in a same way, despite following him. Felt a bit weird, but guess it's a game mechanic

tbf you should always kick him. all he does is go for ai targets till he gets revoker and then sits in that all day. out of all the regulars i met so far on this game, hes the most boring of them all.

in a barely alpha game, you people have be completely boring and unfun. this is why theres a whole 12 of you playing this.

Alright everyone.
Thats enough.

Thank you for answering my question.
Lets not turn nasty.

Its obvious the game needs a bit of polish, but overall it looks like it could be quite a bit of fun.
And we have the chance to help decide what that future looks like.
Instead of fighting eachother and turning the place into a unwelcoming, toxic community, lets find the bugs, find the issues, figure out what needs to be redone and work together with the devs to see if we can make a great game that we all enjoy.
